Dialog about patch versions don't belong in the commit log.
Add "---" after the Signed-off-by" lines and add patch revision
comments there so reviewers know what changed with each new patch
revision - should be a short list of one-liners for each version.
Example below.

I'm working on testing this which is why pwclient found the next nit
on "line 678" (see below).

And add the patch version comments here:
----
V5:
- provides udev (request_firmware) implementation as advised in patch
v2 comments.

This diff line "looks correct" to me. But pwclient reported this error:
$ pwclient list -p linux-mmc -w "Avi Shchislowski"
Patches submitted by Avi Shchislowski <avi.shchislow...@sandisk.com>:
...
4039281 New          [RFC,1/1,v6] mmc: Support-FFU-for-eMMC-v5.0
...
$ pwclient apply 4039281

patching file drivers/mmc/card/ffu.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 678: diff --git
a/include/linux/mmc/ffu.h b/include/linux/mmc/ffu.h new file mode
100644 index 0000000..be70880

and then did not create the new file.  Is it obvious to anyone else
why this failed?

I'll fix-up by hand for now.

thanks,
grant

ps. for folks not familiar with pwclient, my 5 line ~/.pwclientrc is
all you need to get started:
grundler@firesword:~$ cat .pwclientrc
